It’s 21 years since Bishop Michael Malone launched Aurora as a diocesan newspaper, and next month’s will be edition number 175!

In 2011, in a bold and unprecedented step, Aurora became an insert in six regional newspapers, initially boosting circulation enormously. The look and feel of Aurora changed significantly, to embrace a larger and more diverse audience. Aurora also occupied an online space from this point.

The new look and feel contributed to Aurora winning many awards with 2014 being a highlight when she was the proud recipient of both the premier religious press awards: the Bishop Philip Kennedy Award (Australasian Catholic Press Association) and the Gutenberg Award (Australasian Religious Press Association).

We don’t believe in resting on our laurels so It’s time to take stock and you can help! In a bid to make Aurora as appealing, accessible and sustainable as possible, we would like to know more about what our readers particularly like – and don’t like.
